Look around your room. Look at the 44″ TV, the DVD player, the Xbox 360. Now open your wardrobe and look at the suits, the trainers, the shoes. Then think about trying to replace all of those items in the event of a fire destroying your property for example.
Contents insurance covers the possessions of you and your family against damage such as fire and theft – and if you live in a shared house with friends, some insurance companies include these as ‘family’. Accidental damage such as spilling a drink over your laptop is not usually covered under contents insurance, but you can often extend your policy to cover accidental damage for an extra amount. On top of this, most contents insurance gives ‘new for old’ cover, which basically means that you will receive the full cost of replacing an old item with a new one if it is damaged or stolen. This doesn’t extend to taking your possessions out of the home however, so if your camera gets stolen while sight-seeing for example you won’t be covered.
If you don’t currently have contents insurance, you need to decide how much you require by working out the cost of replacing all your possessions. The price or ‘premium’ of the policy will vary depending on your age, location and the value of your possessions and each contents insurance policy will come with a no claims bonus which will increase every year where there are no claims on it. If you need to make a claim, you need to check that your policy is current and that you’re covered for whatever has happened and minimize any further loss (for example, if your house was robbed and a window was broken you need to make temporary repairs and make a note of the crime reference number).
